Description

This song takes you to Constantinople, the heart of the Byzantine Empire. When Roman Emperor Diocletian split his territory in two, he made way for the Byzantine Empire. The song covers Emperor Justinian and his influential first lady, Theodora. Experience their unique practice of Christianity with Byzantine icons and mosaics before the Crusades weaken the capital city.
